How To Quit Your Job At 27, Drink All Day, And Still Make Lots Of Money

Brian Leventhal and his partner John Stires are both in their twenties. After a short stint at a tech startup, they decided to quit and open a winery in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Winery, located in Williamsburg, is a unique combination of hands-on craft and unmatched decor. Nearly every detail in Brooklyn Winery, from the wood walls to light fixtures, is an antique that was hand-picked by the founders. Guests can order food and drinks at the bar or make wine themselves over the course of a few months with the help of expert winemaker Conor McCormack.

In less than a year, the company has made a name for itself. It has been listed in every major publication from The New York Times to Travel & Leisure magazine. It was even deemed one of the top wedding venues in New York by The Knot.

We toured the winery, learned how to make wine from scratch, and discovered how two twenty-somethings are bringing Napa Valley to New York.
